Hey :)

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1265175 This no longer seems to work on my new mac (M1, FF 103.0.2)

Or maybe I did something wrong but I cannot figure it out.

Basically, I get no change whatsoever after creating the userChrome.css file and placing it in the appropriate "chrome" folder in my profile folder...

Please help me figure this out.

Best, Julien

OK. I found the issue. I didn't enable toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets in about:config

This version of userChrome.css doesn't work either on my mac while it works on my Windows10 PC:

/*

* Recreates the basic functionality of the popular Roomy Bookmarks Toolbar add-on in Firefox 57+.
* Uncomment the section with the functionality that you want, leave all other sections commented.
* This only affects toplevel toolbar bookmarks and folders, bookmarks and subfolders in folders are unaffected.
* The tooltips on long hover (showing bookmark name and link) are unaffected.
*/
/* some margin settings, do not comment */

.bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-text {

 margin-top: -1px !important;

} .bookmark-item {

 margin: -1px !important;

}


/* No text on toolbar bookmarks; Text on bookmark folders. No hover effect. */ /* .bookmark-item:not([container]):not([open="true"]) > .toolbarbutton-text {

 display: none !important;

}

  1. PlacesToolbarItems > .bookmark-item:not([container]):not([open="true"]) > .toolbarbutton-icon[label]:not([label=""]) {
 margin-inline-end: 0px !important;

}

  • /


/* No text on toolbar bookmarks; No text on bookmark folders. Show bookmark text on hover. */ /* .bookmark-item:not(:hover):not([open="true"]) > .toolbarbutton-text {

 display: none !important;

}

  1. PlacesToolbarItems > .bookmark-item:not(:hover):not([open="true"]) > .toolbarbutton-icon[label]:not([label=""]) {
 margin-inline-end: 0px !important;

}

  • /


/* No text on toolbar bookmarks; Text on bookmark folders. Show bookmark text on hover. */

.bookmark-item:not(:hover):not([container]):not([open="true"]) > .toolbarbutton-text {

 display: none !important;

}

  1. PlacesToolbarItems > .bookmark-item:not(:hover):not([container]):not([open="true"]) > .toolbarbutton-icon[label]:not([label=""]) {
 margin-inline-end: 0px !important;

}
